Dismal Life of a Human Being
Sansär Rachnä
In spite of immense adversities human being remains engrossed in life to taste as minute pleasure as a drop of honey
The Man
'The Soul Man's wanderings in the forest Soul's rebirth in the four types of existence The Wild Elephant
Death The Devta
Religion The Demon
Old Age The Banyan tree
Path to salvation - Fear itself is conquered on this path Weakness to climb the tree Lust for sensual and trivial pleasures The well
Human life The Snakes
Passions (4 Kashäya) which impede human judgement The Python
If Man falls in Hell, the soul suffers excruciating pain The tuft of reed
Man's pre-determined life span The Mice
Passage of time Bees
Diseases of life Drops of Honey
Trivial pleasures. Lust for these spells Man's peril
